Article Synopsis
  • Despite initial treatment with midostaurin (MIDO) and chemotherapy in FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML), many patients face relapses, with complete remission rates around 60-70% and over 40% relapsing.
  • A study of 150 patients with refractory/relapsed (R/R) AML revealed that those treated with MIDO showed lower persistence of FLT3-ITD mutations compared to those who did not receive MIDO (68% vs. 87.5%).
  • The study found that detecting multiple FLT3-ITD clones at diagnosis related to a higher persistence rate of these mutations at relapse, indicating the need for sensitive techniques in FLT3-

We previously reported the benefit of lomustine addition to conventional chemotherapy in older acute myeloid leukemias with nonadverse chromosomal aberrations in the LAM-SA 2007 randomized clinical trial (NCT00590837). A molecular analysis of 52 genes performed in 330 patients included in this trial, 163 patients being treated with lomustine in combination with idarubicin and cytarabine and 167 without lomustine, identified 1088 mutations with an average of 3.3 mutations per patient.

Objectives: Venetoclax combined with hypomethylating agents is a new therapeutic strategy frequently used for treating AML patients who are not eligible for conventional chemotherapy. However, high response rates are heterogeneous due to different mechanisms mediating resistance to venetoclax such as up-regulation of MCL-1 expression. We thus tested the anti-leukemic activity of S63845, a specific MCL-1 inhibitor.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) remains a therapeutic challenge and improvements in chemotherapy are needed. n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), present in fish oil (FO) at high concentrations, have antitumoral properties in various cancer models. We investigated the effects of two n-3 PUFAs, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), in AML cell lines and primary AML blasts.

Cytosolic proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a scaffolding protein involved in DNA replication, has been described as a key element in survival of mature neutrophil granulocytes, which are non-proliferating cells. Herein, we demonstrated an active export of PCNA involved in cell survival and chemotherapy resistance. Notably, daunorubicin-resistant HL-60 cells (HL-60R) have a prominent cytosolic PCNA localization due to increased nuclear export compared to daunorubicin-sensitive HL-60 cells (HL-60S).

The model of erythroleukemia caused by Spi-1/PU.1 transgenesis in mice is a multistage disease. A preleukemic step is characterized by an acute proliferation of proerythroblasts due to the arrest of differentiation provoked by Spi-1/PU.

We have shown previously that caspases were specifically involved in the differentiation of peripheral blood monocytes into macrophages while not required for monocyte differentiation into dendritic cells. To identify caspase targets in monocytes undergoing macrophagic differentiation, we used the human monocytic leukemic cell line U937, whose macrophagic differentiation induced by exposure to 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) can be prevented by expression of the baculovirus caspase-inhibitory protein p35. A comparative two-dimensional gel proteomic analysis of empty vector- and p35-transfected cells after 12 h of exposure to 20 nm TPA, followed by mass spectrometry analysis, identified 38 differentially expressed proteins.
